Ross, 31

The photo was taken at Tees Barrage near Ross’ home in Stockton. It was a lovely day and he was walking to spot some seals with his fiancee Charlotte and his son Charlie.

Three days later Ross decided to take his own life, aged 32. He was kind, selfless, honest, caring, fun and intelligent. The best brother, fiancee, dad and son anyone could ever wish for.
